Fury must give update or risk losing WBO belt

Unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has 10 days to provide the WBO with a status update of his medical condition or he risks being stripped of the belt for inactivity.

Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), who holds two major sanctioning body belts, was scheduled to defend the titles against former champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs), of Ukraine, on Oct. 29 at Manchester Arena in Fury's hometown of Manchester, England. Last week, however, Fury pulled out of the fight for a second time and now risks being stripped of at least the WBO belt and perhaps the WBA title also.
